SEC. 2. REPORT.

    Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
Comptroller General of the United States shall complete a study, and 
submit to Congress a report thereon, on the use of unmanned aircraft 
systems (hereinafter in this Act referred to as ``UAS'') and on systems 
developed to counter such unmanned aircraft systems by Federal, State, 
local, and Tribal agencies. Such report shall include the following:
            (1) Recommendations for the following:
                    (A) What, if any, legal authorities and what 
                policies need to be changed to improve the ability of 
                such agencies to successfully counter threats from such 
                UAS.
                    (B) What actions need to be taken to bolster the 
                capabilities of the United States and its allies to 
                manufacture UAS and to simplify the procurement process 
                for UAS.
            (2) Information about the following:
                    (A) The number of UAS deployed by Federal, State, 
                local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies as of the 
                date of the report.
                    (B) For State, local, and Tribal agencies, the 
                number of UAS purchased from entities operating within 
                an adversarial nation (including any countries included 
                on the list set forth in section 791.4 of title 15 of 
                the Code of Federal Regulations).
                    (C) How many UAS are domestically produced.
                    (D) Any cost restrictions that prevent law 
                enforcement agencies from expanding the use of UAS 
                produced in the United States or a nation other than 
                one referred to in subparagraph (B).
                    (E) How frequently UAS are used and for what 
                purposes.
                    (F) Whether the operators of UAS are trained or 
                certified in any way.
                    (G) What authorities, policies, or protocols govern 
                the use of UAS.
                    (H) What privacy protections or expectations are 
                there regarding the use of UAS.
                    (I) What countermeasures or strategies exist to 
                counter UAS, and to what extent is there a training or 
                certification in their use.
                                 <all>
